Executive functions in kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder
2018
Executive functioning (EF) is a key cognitive process for development. Little is known about EF in Kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), despite this age being one of the most critical and intensive period of motor and cognitive development. In our investigation we compared EF in kindergarten children at risk for DCD with Typically Developing (TD) children. Participants were 36 Italian children, 18 at risk for DCD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6 years and 18 TD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6. Executive functions were measured by tasks targeting cold executive functioning (working memory, fluency, inhibitory control) and t…
Spiking Neural Networks models targeted for implementation on Reconfigurable Hardware
2017
La tesis presentada se centra en la denominada tercera generación de redes neuronales artificiales, las Redes Neuronales Spiking (SNN) también llamadas ‘de espigas’ o ‘de eventos’. Este campo de investigación se convirtió en un tema popular e importante en la última década debido al progreso de la neurociencia computacional. Las Redes Neuronales Spiking, que tienen no sólo la plasticidad espacial sino también temporal, ofrecen una alternativa prometedora a las redes neuronales artificiales clásicas (ANN) y están más cerca de la operación real de las neuronas biológicas ya que la información se codifica y transmite usando múltiples espigas o eventos en forma de trenes de pulsos. Este campo h…
Educatio siglo XXI : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2015
La presencialidad obligatoria en Educación Superior y el creciente número de estudiantes con compromisos familiares justifican la necesidad de conocer las opiniones del alumnado con respecto a la conciliación estudiantil-familiar en el contexto universitario. Se adopta una metodología cualitativa mediante narrativas. Participan de la investigación 27 estudiantes de la Universitat de València y 46 de la Universidad de Alicante, del Grado en Maestro de Educación Primaria. Los resultados evidencian limitaciones, dificultades y demandas ante las nuevas exigencias metodológicas y evaluativas, si se tienen cargas familiares. Se concluye con propuestas académicas, legislativas y de implementación …

3D visualization of engendering collaborative leadership in the space
2012
The paper focuses on collaborative leadership in education and how to illustrate its engendering process in a three-dimensional space. This complex and fluid process is examined as distributed and pedagogical within a Finnish vocational upper secondary educational organization. As a consequence, the notion of distributed pedagogical leadership is used when collaborative leadership in education is studied. Collaborative leadership is argued to consist of the innermost substance of a professional learning community, as attributes of a group of people working together for specific purposes. Therefore, collaborative leadership naturally involves actors, activities, and context. However, the inn…

“You really brought all your feelings out” – Scaffolding students to identify the socio-emotional and socio-cognitive challenges in collaborative lea…
2021
Abstract The aim of this study is to explore how students experience and describe socio-cognitive and socio-emotional challenges in collaborative learning. The participants (N = 20) were teacher education students whose collaborative learning was supported with a designed regulation macro script during a six-week mathematics course. The purpose of the script was to provide structured phases during the collaborative learning tasks for the group members to plan, monitor, and evaluate their workings. The video data of groups' face-to-face work was collected and analysed by focusing on the different types of challenges the groups experienced and the types of challenges they described during the…
Problem Space Identification for Developing Virtual Reality Learning Environments
2021
Our study argues that the extant literature on virtual reality-based learning environments (VRLEs) currently lacks proper definitions and context descriptions for a problem space, which is fundamental for conducting design science research (DSR). Without properly conducted problem space identification, the most pivotal problems cannot be identified resulting solutions lacking validity and unreliable evaluations. This is a major challenge for the DSR in the educational field, but also for the research on VRLEs. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel DSR method to support rigorous problem space identification, which would allow rigorous and profound problem space analysis. The inst…
Teaching perspectives on CLIL in different educational contexts. Italy, Spain and Turkey
2020
La tesis realiza un estudio comparado internacional sobre el Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE; en inglés Content and Language Integrated Learning, CLIL) basado en la impartición de diversas materias de una etapa educativa en inglés. El estudio se lleva a cabo en centros educativos de Italia, España y Turquía. El diseño de investigación utiliza un enfoque mixto cualtitativo-cualitativo, con cuestionarios y entrevistas en profundidad como herramientas de recolección de datos. Los datos de la investigación muestran la importancia de la colaboración del profesorado en cuanto a la creación de proyectos, el diseño de materiales, la planificación de las clases y la …
On the stability of some controlled Markov chains and its applications to stochastic approximation with Markovian dynamic
2015
We develop a practical approach to establish the stability, that is, the recurrence in a given set, of a large class of controlled Markov chains. These processes arise in various areas of applied science and encompass important numerical methods. We show in particular how individual Lyapunov functions and associated drift conditions for the parametrized family of Markov transition probabilities and the parameter update can be combined to form Lyapunov functions for the joint process, leading to the proof of the desired stability property. Of particular interest is the fact that the approach applies even in situations where the two components of the process present a time-scale separation, w…
